Start for ROEMHELD Swing Clamps without Swing Stroke

Actually the principle is quite simple: The hydraulic swing clamp without swing stroke is a double-acting pull-type cylinder where a part of the piston stroke is used to swing the piston rod without axial stroke. This allows the clamping arm to easily enter in recesses that are only insignificantly higher than the clamping arm.

The ROEMHELD experts with their high potential of experiences now have realised in a technically perfect way, what sounds simple in theory . Where up to now clamping points have to be kept free for loading and unloading of the fixture, now also recesses can be used for clamping. The piston rod together with the clamping arm is rotated without axial stroke to the desired direction and after the completion of the swing motion above the clamping point the linear clamping stroke is effected. To make this principle a reality, a higher production expense and more interior components that are perfectly matched are required compared to traditional swing clamps.

Ideal for complex design workpieces
Especially for complex shaped cast parts or aluminium parts with complicated ribbing it is ideal, if no swing stroke is required. Besides the high process safety, there is a further time saving due to a clamping lever that can be swung into a recess. The demand for up to date fast loading and unloading of the workpiece to be machined is thereby met.

The swing clamp with its compact flange design and its maximum operating pressure of 350 bar is optionally available with clockwise or counterclockwise swing motion. The standard swing angle is 90°, but special swing angles between 20° and 70° are available on request as well. Also the metallic wiper that protects the standard FKM wiper against mechanical damage can be selected as an option. An electric or pneumatic position monitoring is optionally available.

The reinforced swing mechanism without overload protection device endures a collision of the clamping arm with the workpiece up to a pressure of 100 bar during the swing motion.

Focused on a high-precision fabrication and a way of thinking oriented at the customer, ROEMHELD has looked for a purposeful solution for clamping tasks and has implemented an application-oriented solution.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
